My presence, Heb. my face, i.e. I myself, by comparing this with 2Sa_17:11. The Angel of my presence, Isa_63:9; the pledge of my presence, the cloudy pillar; and I will not turn thee over to an angel, as I threatened, Exo_34:2. See Deu_4:34.
I will give thee rest; not only rest from thy present anguish and perplexity of mind for thy people, but in due time I will bring them to their resting-place and settled habitation; for it is evident from Exo_34:15,16, that Moses’s care and prayer was more for the people than for himself.
